14 Days and Counting

We are slowly ticking off our “To Do” list and while we don’t actually have to do the packing we have tried to organize and de-clutter the best we could. There is still A LOT to do. We have been eating our way through our cupboard and frozen foods. In fact, last night we enjoyed some freezer burned raviolis. We dropped off some boxes that a good friend is going to keep for us, stuff we really don’t need to take with us, like old books, Jamie’s mixed tapes, etc. We are slowly getting in our last appointments in, I got my hairs cut and we will see our wonderful Pediatrician one more time, with Annmarie of course.

My parents are here helping out and Jamie’s Dad is coming to town this week. We’ll be seeing Dave on Saturday. And saying some farewells this weekend.

Seems crazy how fast this move is approaching.

Busy Week

My first week out of the work force included:

A play date with Luke.
A trip to Little Farm.

(ewww)

Ian's first Birthday party!

(Annmarie had a minor meltdown on the train.)

Not pictured: Trips to the park. Story time at the library. A work Happy Hour for Jamie and Housewifery stuff (blah ha ha ha).

Ball Park

Last week I went out and took some pictures of Colin, Ana and Annmarie. It was a lot of fun. Colin loves the camera and he listens. AM not so much. We went down to the Ball Park to take the pictures, because Colin's Dad's baseball team got to play in a game at AT&T Park. Very cool.

Here are some of my favorites.
I didn't have my camera settings right on these first three, letting in way to much light. But I still like them.
See, he's like the perfect model.AM likes to spontaneously break out in a hug. Model boy.
Cheese!
More hugs.
Heading into the park - VIP style.
Colin's Dada, Brain.
Hey buddy, up here.
Hmmm, Cracker Jacks.
Base hit! Way to go!
Loads of fun for everyone.

Annmarie's last week with Ana and Colin was packed with all sorts of fun. The Ball Park, The Academy of Science and a pot-luck party for Ana on Thursday. And I'll just leave it at that so I don't start crying again.

Cooking Club Farmer's Market

For all the deets go here!

Included in our Relocation Materials

I kid you not……really, I mean………..what the what!

How in the world are you to tell the difference between the Funnel Web and the Trap Door?
I’m sorry spiders, but you are all going down.

Backyard Barbecue

On Sunday evening we gathered with our building mates (yeah, I’m working on my Aussie lingo) for a barbecue in our backyard to celebrate our upcoming departure. We enjoyed good food, drinks and a much labored over heat lamp. We had a great time and we’re grateful for our great neighbors.
